Seven Years Ago

Seven years ago I lost my cousin Nicole. She and I were pretty close as we were close in age and the younger girl cousins.

Seven years ago I got a phone call saying she was in an accident and was at the hospital.

Seven years ago my heart broke as we raced to the hospital.

Seven years ago my world stopped for a moment as we were too late to say goodbye, that she had left our world and gone on to Heaven. Too young, just a senior in high school, dreams of college and a future.
